What if a Pope tells me something that is straight out of the communist manifesto?
That’s why he’s called “The Red Pope”.
Same with the POPE!!
Or popes.
Instead, trust in the Word of God. It has all the answers you need.
As others have pointed out, this includes the pope. And I hope that by “catechism” he means the Catechism of the Council of Trent, not the modernist 90s version.

"Sacred tradition" is merely a man-made artifice not deserving of our attention.
Seriously though, this is great! The fightback is on! First Sarah and now Caffarra. Yes, it's only two but it sends a message. We're not going to roll over and play dead like we did in the '60s when altars were smashed, altar rails ripped out and tabernacles moved. It also acts as a rallying cry for the laity who need to know that the insanity is not universal and there are members of the hierarchy, albeit few, who know the score.
The big difference now is the blogosphere. We have a means of communication by which we can rally the resistance which is why people like Fr. Rosica are apoplectic; they realize that they can't control it. Of course, the faithful will always be but a remnant so we're never going to see the College of Cardinals rise up and run this faithless rogue out of town on a rail. It's going to be rare, modern day equivalents of Athanasius who will hold the line while the majority lose their minds.
Holy Scripture says the same thing about your CCC and any other non Scripture writings, but I guess that doesn’t count.
Galatians 1:7-9 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
7 Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
9 As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
Notice Scripture says gospel of Christ and not tradition, or CCC, or RCC, or any church, or Talmud, but of Christ.
When Christ defeated Satan in the wilderness he used Scripture and Scripture alone.
